ENGW vs NZW Team Previews
England Women
England Women beat New Zealand Women by five wickets at Bristol to complete a three-nil ODI series whitewash. This will give them immense confidence to transfer into the shorter white-ball format.
Lauren Bell claimed her first ever five-wicket haul in international cricket in the third Women's ODI. She took five for 37 in nine overs. The England Women's bowler has made slight changes to her bowling action.
Maia Bouchier, who was named player of the series in the Women's ODI series, will want to bottle up her ODI form and use it in the Women's T20I series. The middle-order batter has 470 Women's T20I runs. Her highest T20I score of 91 came against New Zealand Women in March this year.
Star spinner Sophie Ecclestone will mount a serious challenge to the Black Ferns batters. She has picked up 13 wickets in her seven most recent Women's T20Is. She has also done this at an economy rate of 5.81.

New Zealand Women
New Zealand Women will see the Women's T20I series as a fresh opportunity for silverware on tour. They are the lower-ranked team according to the ICC Women's T20I team rankings, but will want to punch above their weight in this series.
A lot will depend on Amelia Kerr to deliver. The all-rounder sits as the second-best all-rounder in Women's T20I cricket according to the ICC player rankings. Her previous eight Women's T20Is have been successful on a personal level. She achieved 282 runs at a batting average of 47 while doubling up with ten wickets at an economy rate of 6.94.
New Zealand Women have struggled for any wicket-taking potency in the Women's ODI series. They only managed a meagre eight England Women wickets in three games. The wicket-taking responsibilities could largely fall on the shoulders of 34-year-old Sophie Devine who has taken a-wicket-a-game in her last seven Women's T20Is.
The experienced Suzie Bates will need to score bulk runs for her team. She has played for New Zealand Women since 2006 in a Women's T20I career which has spanned 157 matches. She only needs 51 more runs to achieve the milestone of 10000 international runs.
